As sociology Professors Steve McKay and Miriam Greenberg unveil their findings from their study about the Santa Cruz housing crisis, local media outlets have taken notice.
For the past two years, McKay and Greenberg collaborated with undergraduate students to collect more than 1700 surveys and countless in-depth interviews about the realities of renting in Santa Cruz.
The result is No Place Like Home, a community-initiated, student-engaged research project. See the responses, documentaries, mapping, and other projects made by undergraduate students here: http://noplacelikehomeucsc.org/
